MPI Group supplied three Neodymium “Neo” magnets (“NdFeB”) that California State Polytechnic University (Pomona) researchers relied on to perform experiments, and recommend ways to improve the method used to harness and obtain renewable energy through the power of ocean waves.

“As we move forward into the 21st century, few issues are going to be as important as finding new and better ways to harness and obtain renewable energy through the endless power of ocean waves,” commented an MPI Group spokesperson.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2014

Magnet Products International Group, LLC (“MPI Group”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of flexible magnets, strong magnets and promotional products, was recently selected by California State Polytechnic University (Pomona) to sponsor a high-profile renewable energy project, which resulted in recommendations to improve the method used to harness and obtain renewable energy through ocean waves using Neodymium Magnets.

For the project, MPI Group provided university researchers with three Neodymium “Neo” magnets (“NdFeB”) that met the following technical specs:

Dimensions: 2.00" Diameter x 2.00" Thick

Tolerances: ±0.004" x ±0.004"

Material: NdFeB

Grade: N52

Plating/Coating: Nickel

Magnetization Direction: Axially

Weight: 27 oz.

Pull Force: 377 lbs

Surface Field: 6619 Gauss

Max Operating Temp: 176ºF (80ºC)

Brmax: 14,800 Gauss

BHmax: 52 MGOe

The supplied NdFeB magnets were among the strongest that MPI Group produces and carries. The company also provided specific care and handling instructions to promote safety, and ensure that the experiment yielded meaningful, relevant data.

“As we move forward into the 21st century, few issues are going to be as important as finding new and better ways to harness and obtain renewable energy through the endless power of ocean waves,” commented an MPI Group spokesperson. “We are honored and privileged to have sponsored this high-profile project, and look forward to future opportunities to contribute to the exceptional work that researchers at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and others are doing in this critically important field.”
